Abstract

1513144 Apparatus for providing oxygen-enriched air GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 16 May 1975 [4 June 1974] 20861/75 Heading B1L Air is drawn into intake area 24 of a portable oxygen enricher by fan 26 and passes into chamber 35 containing vacuum pump 38. Air warmed by this pump is vented by slidable valve plate 51 through port 46 or alternatively unwarmed air is vented through port 42 into the flow chamber 44 containing membrane cell array 60 so that the temperature of the air may be controlled. The cells are selectively permeable to oxygen and the enriched air is drawn by the pump through manifolds 72 and tube 74 to a scrubber 76 to remove NO 2 and SO 2 , then to heat exchanger 78, separator 80 for removing water vapour, flow restrictor 89, bacterial filter 94 and to outlet 95 which connects to an oxygen administration set including a mask or cannula worn by a patient. A dust-filter 100 is provided in intake channel 30. A failure warning device 104, 105, 106 is shown. The membranes may be silicone rubber or polyphenylene ether.
